7th Grade US...8th Grade US...11th Grade US - 7th grade spends about 2 weeks on the Civil War. - The thought is that a redundancy in 8th grade that reviews the Civil War is necessary. The students should get a review of the Civil War in the beginning of their 8th grade year. - Why are we not teaching U.S. History in 9th grade? Does this make more sense? Shoud we move World Heritage up in High School?

Suggestion to end 8th grade with the Depression and leave out World War II.

Should there be a four year sequence of U.S history?

What does the US AP test cover? Are there items we should hit harder or less? BRob @ EV

I spent too much time covering the Civil War. The time I spend covering it takes away from the time needed to cover WWII. Since our curriculm begins with Reconstruction, I need to commit to spending less time on the Civil War. BJarbeck-Kline Good Hope
